He dives into dusty archives and shares his findings along with gossip about various famous members of this venerable firm and other fascinating folk. This is a 1950 reprint by The Macmillan Co, NY. Illustrated with art and photos. Hb, no dj. Dark orange cloth with gilt titles, some damage to cover, and front hinge is fully attached but weary. A gem for a fan of British law. USED. $6.00
